sorry for reposting this thread once again but i m asking out you guys to help me out with lowering my car. i m looking for a 40mm drop all over. i m actually more concerned for a good ride as much as possible as good as the OE ride, not really concerned about the handling, what should i buy with a 250 pounds budget?

Might be ok, just make sure you protect the threads if your buying cheap coilovers.

Seen that happen with Jamex Coilovers and its near impossible to adjust when they're corroded....

package them up in a big bin rather than fit them to the car, that will protect them.

hes saying cheap coil overs are crap, if you want to protect the threads just coat them with coper slip/grease this will stop them corroding
